Even more White Noise

Despite the fact that no one really liked White
Noise, it appears to have made enough money to convince at least one production company that the world was
crying out for a
sequel. Desperately Creatively trying to draw on some built-in audience, that company -
Brightlight Pictures - has cleverly hired the stars of two TV series with utterly obsessive fans to headline their
movie: Firefly's
Nathan Fillion will star alongside geek lust object Katee
Sackhoff, AKA Starbuck from Battlestar
Galactica.

In the movie, Fillion will play a man whose family is murdered while he (barely)
survives. The near-death experience, as it tends to do in movies, gives him the power to tell who is going to die, but
when he tries to help people avoid death, he "discovers there is a price to [be] paid for interfering with the
natural order." You don't say - has this guy not seen any of the Final
Destinations? Sackhoff, meanwhile, will play a nurse who conveniently appears on the scene after Fillion's wife
dies. Patrick
Lussier, an editor whose only directing work for the big screen was the unloved Dracula 2000, will direct from a script by the totally untested Matt
Venne. So, a sequel to a blah movie, with no one - not even the money-grubbing studio - returning from the previous
installment? Boy, that sounds promising.
